What guests think

At Shinjuku Sky hostel, guests consistently highlight the very convenient location by Nakai Station and budget pricing, while feedback varies widely on cleanliness, noise, and overall condition, reflecting a simple hostel experience rather than a full-service hotel.

Many reviews praise polite, helpful staff and smooth check-in, with some feeling secure even when arriving late. Recurring downsides include inconsistent cleanliness, dated and noisy rooms with thin walls or train noise, limited amenities and facilities, and shared areas that can feel cold or allow smoke to drift. Expect a no-frills, hostel-style stay that trades comfort for affordability.

Basic room review. My basic room is exactly this. The aesthetics are not pleasing, but it provides a small space to rest and unpack your bag. Shared toilet and shower. It is quiet, very clean, and the check-in and staff experience was faultless. Coin laundry and dryer available onsite.

It’s what you expect from capsule hotel, a bed showers, luggage storage the usual business. What does knock it down from being an 8/10 to a 7/10 is requesting a non smoking bed and then being directly placed adjacent to the smoking balcony which had the smoke smell leaking into the hallway.

駅からは近いが入り組んだ細い路地の奥にあり、場所がわかりづらい。部屋の窓が閉まらず施錠もできない。入り口ドアも一応オートロックだが、薄っぺらくて、女性でもちょっと体当たりすれば開けられるそう。シーツは清潔そうだったが、部屋の隅々は虫の死骸やホコリが溜まっていて、掃除が行き届いているとは言えない。全館禁煙のはずなのに、部屋から一歩出るとしょっちゅうタバコの煙が充満している。ユニットバスの脱衣所が狭すぎる。

寝るだけなら問題ないです。洗濯機乾燥機が1台ずつあります。両方使って大体600円位です。　平日は割と静かでした。金曜日や土曜日などは夜中の1時ぐらいまで外国人の方が大きな声で騒いでおり寝れませんでした。お風呂の鍵がかかりません。女性の方は不安だと思います。ここを改善しないと、女性の方はこの宿泊施設を避けるのではないかと思います。

THERE IS NO ELEVATOR‼️ They were like I had to wait the next day for a man to take my luggage to the second floor. I asked for a room on the first floor because I don’t want to leave my luggage in an open space. The hostel is 24/7 open so anyone can come and go. Not doors for the hostel. Only room doors. Very very very unsafe. Very dirty bathroom. If you’re coming from the subway it is a bit hard to find because you have to take the exit in the subway so if you take the wrong exit, you have to go back in the subway take a different exit to reach the hostel. For the same price, if not a bit cheaper, I could get a better hotel near Narita airport with a private washroom and shower! THIS PLACW IS OVERPRICED FOR WHAT IT PROVIDES‼️ I could hear someone snoring. Will not come again. The staff were nice though. Kind of tried to accommodate me. I asked if it was women only, I got a nod… a couple minutes later I saw a man… they either lied or it was because of the language barrier.

The picture shows some relatively modern rooms and bathroom. We were staying at the ground level and let me say the rooms are very old and the wallapaper is yellowed and peeling. Headbord and nightstand with a thick coat of dust. I woke up to a cockroach walking on the wall too. Honestly save yourself some time and book something else. We were glad it was only for one night.

Rooms

Rooms are simple and dated, ranging from small functional capsules or basic privates to a few larger spaces; amenities are minimal (often no TV, compact bathrooms, and a fridge in some rooms). Noise can carry due to thin walls or nearby trains.

J’ai jamais vu ça ! : la Clim au plafond était partagée entre 2 chambres : il y’ avait donc un trou de 1 m par 30 cm en haut du mur qui séparait les 2 chambres . Et encore pire il y avait le même trou en haut du mur du voisin au niveau de la Clim entre le couloir et sa chambre Résultat : on entendait tout le bruit du voisin et du couloir avec les portes des toilettes et douches qui fermaient mal et qui étaient claquées à chaque fois et on se prenait la lumière du couloir la nuit Et la chambre donnait directement sur le quai du train !!! Horrible !!!! Je ne recommande pas du tout : une véritable arnaque !!!!

The convenience right next to Nakai station and quiet area made this an excellent little escape from the rest of Tokyo. I would definitely recommend it. Just remember that it is a hostel and not a hotel. Even if you book a private room like we did, you will not receive the same ammenities and the place likely hasn't been updated in decades. So the faucet in the bathroom sink is going to slosh water on the floor. The aesthetic isn't going to be the most appealing. You basically receive a small 1 bedroom in Tokyo for an extremely affordable price though. The group hostel rooms were even cheaper. It was the perfect spot for us.

For the price, this hotel is great. It is located right next, literally a block away, to Nakai Station, which is 2 stops away from the Yamanote Line. We had no problem getting around Tokyo from this station. The room represented the price. It is not fancy, but it totally works. The bathroom is tiny, but very functional. The only negative things i noticed were that the bed sheets had stains on them (even though they were washed, it seemed like old stains that won’t go away), there was dust on the top of some amenities and the walls were super thin. We could hear our room neighbour snore. Oh and the toilet doesn’t have a bidet like modern Japanese toilets usually do. The bed was comfy, but on the softer side. The air conditioner works well and the fridge too. The hair dryer was nice and quiet. Little tip: in order to dry shower towels, hang them on the shower’s curtain bar in order to dry them with the bathroom fan. They won’t dry if you hang them in the room. Overall my boyfriend and I enjoyed this hotel. Perfect for people on a budget! The staff is very nice and helpful.

It's listed as 20 minutes from Haneda airport by car. It's more like 1h. Don't take a taxi. Pictures of the hotel is not representative of the reality - much older structure, dirtier and smelly. Walls are so thin, door has gap. We can hear everything including the trains, trucks and anyone passing around. It's more on a capsule hotel facility, but very old and dirty. I don't recommand even for 1 night.

The location is a short 1 min walk away from the train station and having it be close made our trasit with luggage very straight-forward. The area is quiet and away from the urban areas as well. It is exactly what we paid for. It's not the most impressive but for its price point I'd say it did its job of meeting our accomodation requirements for our Japan trip.
